Template Registration

Submit each message template in advance so your traffic passes through the operators instead of being stopped.

Any business that intends to reach its customers by message has to register its templates on the DLT platform, and each template needs to be tied to at least one Sender ID.

Since the flow is much the same from one operator to the next, the operator-by-operator guides below will take you through registering your content templates.

Make sure both your Entity and Sender ID registrations are already in place with the operators before you begin registering any templates.
